We watched every episode of gold rush - not a good sellling point in my books, except in terms of how much harder such things are than they may seem to be in reality than in theory.

I think I saw season one of this Pioneer series. Quite an eye opener as to how difficult it would be to rebuild, or forge a new life from scratch. They weren't trying to get rich easy, but try to start a new life in "the new frontier". I enjoyed it because it made me think.

If I didn't have a family who has no interest, I'd volunteer, IF I had more knowledge.

Kudos and good luck to all involved!
